Thanks for the suggestion. I looked up a test on the T1 and it does have features that I like, such as the ability to reflow text on PDFs and also has the HD slol. (I wonder why they bother with micro cards on devices this size?) . I also still like to use a stylus, a holdover from my Palm days. I still use a capacitive stylus on my smartphone because it has such a tiny keyboard, especially in portrait orientation.

To explain my desire for the 3g models, I expect to be able to carry my device to work to read during lunch hours. At my job, we are forbidden to use company computers or the network for any personal use so the habit with my co-workers (I haven't been there very long) is to whip out the phones during lunch to catch up on email, read, etc. so we all have to use wireless. At home, it doesn't make much difference.

Since it will have an advantage in screen size over my phone, I wonder how well (if at all) your average e-ink device will access a forum site such as this one?
